If Park Bank is liable for not spotting Sujata "Sue" Sachdeva's $34 million embezzlement from Koss Corp. and has to reimburse the company, Koss Chief Executive Michael Koss should also be ordered to personally pay the public company he runs, the bank argues in a new lawsuit.

Grant Thornton, Koss Corp.'s former auditor, should also have to pay a portion of any award that may be ordered, Park Bank argued in the latest twist in a long-running court fight stemming from Sachdeva's massive embezzlement.

"Park Bank denies any and all liability to Koss in this case," the bank said in its action. "Nevertheless, should Park Bank be found liable to Koss (Corp.) and required to pay damages to Koss, in this case, those damages will have been the result of a common liability of Park Bank, Michael Koss and Grant Thornton, thereby entitling Park Bank to (a) contribution from Michael Koss and Grant Thornton."(10)

So Colt has measurables very similar to the #10 pick in the draft and had 2 productive years at Oregon before messing up big time this past year. Sounds like a no lose signing with potential (although slim) to have some huge upside. Green Bay is the perfect spot to keep your nose clean... if he proves this summer he's turned his life around I bet he makes the team.

anyone who has the misfortune of running into this guy winds up moving in the opposite direction. he is a force of nature. or perhaps an unnatural force. he will be a dynamic player wherever they put him.

makes the team and contributes big time. sport is the only thing he's good at. winning approval from these coaches will be significant. hopefully aaron works with him and he is allowed to be the supremely gifted athlete that he truly is. he's what - 21 or 22 years old?

and honestly - he's probably on par with finley in terms of maturity at this point of his career. finley was supremely gifted as a 21 year old and he had a lot of growing to do. I hope Colt can be as successful.

@KramerforHall - ironic that in your moniker your pushing for one of the biggest drunks in the league for the hall of fame. Typical viking fan - too clueless to see the irony. BTW - police reports have cleared Colt of involvement in the sandyhook shooting. He was stupid and paid the legal price of being stupid - he fell out of the draft, suspended, etc. Don't try to put it on par with the killing of kids, makes you look the fool.

This from some redneck town village news from 3 decades ago: "It was reported today that two idiots gave birth to a child they'll call "Packer Blood". Early indications by doctors are that "they reached when giving birth to this thing". One doctor noted: "Not only did they make a mistake in bringing the child into the world, they signed him to a lifetime contract of stupidity and ignorance." Reports are that the child will suffer from eternal object orientation (even through adulthood). Oh well, Packer Blood is stupid is as stupid blogs.

The drug stuff is easy to dismiss since most knuckleheads experiment at that age while running with bad crowds. I think what gave every team pause were his comments on Twitter after the Newtown tragedy. This is what he tweeted but lated deleted.

"The parents of the kids that supposedly died in the sandy hook situation are liars.”

After that incident, this is what the NFL sent out to teams as part of his draft profile, "[o]verly emotional and prone to outbursts following a dysfunctional childhood that offered little direction and much confusion related to a divorce.” No team in the northeast could touch him with a 1,000-foot pole and I'm sure he's going to get A LOT of attention the next time we play the Pats.

The kid doesn't need drug treatment as much as he needs a therapist and strong support from the organization. As a fan, I'm happy that we signed him and are giving him a shot to turn his life around because very few should be given up on at such a young age. But as a person, I will have zero tolerance for his "outbursts" and I hope TT draws a big bold line with him from the beginning.

From what I've read, the kid had little parental support. Those comments are the type of cr*p that come from someone who has no strong guidance (mentor/father/call it what ya want) throughout their life.

Unfortunately, those types of comments are common for young people (they say d*mb stuff, esp on social media and texts)...and you can't get away w it when you are in the limelight, that's for sure.

Rooting for this kid, tough, uphill battle for him. I would agree, he seems to need a support network. Finley joined the NFL at the same age, I don't think he had a father figure in his life, if I remember correctly.

By the time they play the Pats, if he's still w the team, I doubt anybody will remember this guy, or his comments. That area wasn't ready to DRAFT him, or try him out...but he's a kid who made a mistake, and I thought he apologized for it and removed the comments.

@NCCheese He only apologized for publicly making the comments, but he never really apologized or recanted his belief that Sandy Hook was a goverment conspiracy to take away people's guns and that the parents were in on it. I know Packers fans who are still upset at Randy Moss for pretending to pull down his pants in the endzone, so you have to believe that the NYC/New England media won't hesitate to rake him over hot coals. If he sucks as a player then no one will care. But if he is an impact player then they will target him.

He doesn't need a change in PR or send out more half-hearted apologies, he truly needs to demonstrate that he's going to make every effort to change in character.

@Slots PFT had a story on it. Just Google "Colt Lyerla Newtown Comments" and it'll pop up. They reported it from the Media Guide they received. As far as the NFL, here is the link to this draft profile and they summarize those same thoughts in the Bottom Line - http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/colt-lyerla?id=2543636

I agree. Green Bay is the perfect place for this young man. He will be surrounded by alot of people that are easy to look up to, and the Packers mentor their young players as they are the future of the team. The Packers organization is set up to help young player realize and reach their full potential.

Weaknesses - Lacks ideal bulk strength to block in-line. Overly emotional and prone to outbursts following a dysfunctional childhood that offered little direction and much confusion related to a divorce. Not a disciplined team player. Off-the-field issues linger.

Bottom Line - A physically talented receiving tight end, Lyerla was overshadowed by the play of emerging freshman Johnny Mundt and litany of issues (suspensions, drugs, academics). Has overcome a lot of adversity stemming back to his youth and defied the odds to become an impactful performer. Talent grades could garner interest in the second round, but past history could easily knock him down several rounds and off many draft boards. Would benefit tremendously from a coach willing to serve as a strong father figure.

sloths, the Sandy Hook thing is factual, so I am not sure what part of that article you are referencing as unsubstantiated. You can find screen grabs of the twitter post.

I agree that we all make mistakes. I definitely made my share, but it's really hard to envision myself in my early 20's making that twitter mistake. To say that type of mistake is common for an early 20's kid seems terribly naive. It's a heartless comment, and that's what bothers me more than any of the other mistakes. I am glad they are giving him a shot, but more importantly I hope he finally realizes the impact of the mistakes he made, is truly remorseful, and is able to demonstrate good character from this point on.

I agree, Cheez. If the Packers want to protect their investment in the great talent, they need to assign a full-time babysitter. Wrong word, but your know what I mean. A Crash Davis to bond with him and teach him how to become a professional in every sense of the word. The cocaine bothers me most. If he's hooked, all the good intentions in the world won't save him. He needs big-time and constant metoring from someone he will come to trust and listen to.

Colt will make this team. He's very dynamic in the passing game. I'd love to see him line up in the backfield with Lacy. TE screens. Hopefully can be a red zone threat. I'd wonder if he can play FB/ST too. Would make Kuhn somewhat obsolete.

oh. he's a jerk alright. all smarty pants intellectual. PB does all kinds of fancy boy logical commenting. he really thinks he's big. not only that, but he actually does research on the internets and stuff. he's not really smart or anything - he just is always quoting facts and stuff. he's awful.

BTW - I think this is the year they seriously look for a replacement for Jarret Bush on special teams. I know that Jarret out works everyone on the planet, but he's no longer a spring chicken. Younger, faster, stronger. Eventually even Ted Thompson will succumb to it.

He looks shellshocked by all he has been through. Yes, he deserves the criticism. But you try enduring all that stuff while trying to keep your head on and not let everything that has happened ruin your future.

Remember this signing when you all take your annual shots at Suh, Marshall, whichever Viking is on your radar this year, etc. They're all delinquent losers, malcontents, etc. But since this is the beloved GBP this guy is OK though, just deserves a second chance like Jolly, right? Hypocrites

so if lyerla keeps his head straight and acts like a professional on and off the field, we still have to remember this signing when we're taking shots at perennial punks like suh (i don't mind marshall, it appears he's turned the corner as a professional and adult)?

i support jolly because he paid his penance and served his time.

that's not being hypocritical.

it's accepting those who are ready to be accepted for another chance. if lyerla screws this chance up, that's on him and he will pay the price.

excuse me. i'm a portland guy. suh has tried to hurt guys and end their careers. i can't see the parallel in colt. of anything he's done, he's only hurt himself. marshall is a great example of a guy who had serious problems, acknowledged them and worked to get better. marshall is a great role model. suh, not so much. the vikings? the vikings are non-entities. at least the bears have won a super bowl in their history of suckitude. the vikings? 100% suckitude. the lions.? matt millen. matt millen. no kidding. matt millen. ut dimittam vos. the lions are a joke yo.

BeerHere - Comparing a rookie with mistakes in College to a NFL veteran with repeated misdeeds is foolish. I feel confident that if he disrupts the locker room, missteps and gets suspended, TT will deal with it. But there isn't a team in the league that hasn't given a guy that made mistakes in college a chance in the NFL based on the kid's potential and their efforts to straighten themselves out - even if only temporarily. As stated earlier, you can have him when/if we cut him.

Award these fools for poor choices.....in the corporate or public sector this kid would not get hired ...yet poor baby snorted cocaine, and everyone deserves a second chance.....give him 100,000 plus a year ...great role model for the kids....smoke crack and you too can be a NFL player.
